The multicultural capital of Ontario, Toronto is a vibrant and creative city with plenty to see and do, so why not book flights from the US to Toronto now with Globehunters.

With a very diverse population, Toronto naturally has an equally diverse cultural offering, with European, Latin American, Caribbean and Asian immigrants all calling the city home over the years.

The result is a real melting pot, with a number of colourful districts to visit such as Koreatown and Little Italy.

Of course, this means that the city also has a great culinary scene, with street food from all corners of the globe available on the street corners.

One of the main attractions is the CN Tower, which offers great views of the city and surrounding area, or why not take in a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey game, or see the Toronto Raptors basketball team?

If you want to head a little further out of the city, you can take a day trip to the impressive Niagara Falls, or take a ferry over to the Toronto Islands, where you can go for a hike or a bike ride, and there’s even several beaches along the side of Lake Ontario.
